The shooting location of Raise the Red Lantern - Qiao's Grand Courtyard

Qiao's Grand Courtyard🏮, also known as Zhongtang, is located in Qiaojiabao Village, Qixian County, Shanxi Province, and is a national key cultural relics protection unit. In 1990, Zhang Yimou's film 'Raise the Red Lantern' and the 📺 TV series 'Qiao's Grand Courtyard' were shot here. If you have seen these dramas, you will definitely be familiar with the scenes here. 🏮The rows of red lanterns, the exquisite carvings, the tall brick walls, the props from the movie are still preserved to this day, giving a strong sense of immersion. ✅Travel Tips～ 1⃣️Qiao's Grand Courtyard is quite large, with many steps and thresholds within the scenic area, and involves a lot of walking👣, so it is recommended to wear comfortable sports shoes👟. 2⃣️Zhongtang is the main building, and the visiting route can follow the sequence of Courtyard No.1 (Old Courtyard) → Courtyard No.2 → Courtyard No.3 → Courtyard No.5 (The Most Beautiful Courtyard) → Courtyard No.6 (Garden🖼️) → Treasure Courtyard, without retracing your steps. 3⃣️It is advised to hire a guide👩🏻‍🏫 or bring a tour guide, otherwise what you see will only be the courtyards🏘️. What needs to be understood here is the history of the Qiao family's rise to wealth and their business strategies.
